Summary
Hydromax is the river flow forecasting application for the early warning of extreme hydrological events (floods as well as low waters) in the Meuse river basin and its tributaries (South part of Belgium).
Hydromax provides in real-time short-term predictions of river flows based on past rainfall and river flow measurements, and long-term flood forecasting based on meteorological forecasts. It has been successfully operational for almost thirty years at the “Direction de la Gestion Hydrologique” of the Walloon Public Administration (SPW-MI).
Hydromax was developed at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve by the Mathematical Engineering Department, a subdivision of the ICTEAM institute.
